FULL TITLE: SWAT team descends on Austin bomber's home and speak to shirtless man just hours after the homeschooled Christian blew himself up during police chase, ending 19-day campaign of terror

The 23-year-old who blew himself up as police tried to arrest him over a string of deadly Austin bombings has been described as a quiet, home-schooled young man.

Mark Anthony Conditt killed himself when he detonated a bomb inside his SUV as police surrounded him near a hotel on Interstate 35, just outside Austin, at about 2am on Wednesday.

Police closed in on the bomber after obtaining CCTV footage of him posting two packages at a FedEx office that intended to target people of color on Sunday night.

Authorities are warning that more bombs could still be out there because they do not know if the bomber posted more devices prior to his death.

Police started evacuating the area near where Conditt lived at about 1pm on Wednesday, fearing there could explosives there. They have since questioned his two housemates about their knowledge of the bombings.

The bomber had gone on a three week bombing spree stretching back to March 2. The series of bombings killed two people and injured at least five others. The most recent package bomb detonated at a FedEx distribution center near San Antonio early Tuesday.

Police still do not know the motive behind the attacks or whether the bomber had an accomplice, but did say he wasn't previously known to law enforcement.

Police believe Conditt, who previously worked as a computer repair technician and at a manufacturing company, made all the bombs himself.

HOMESCHOOL PING

This ping list is for articles of interest to homeschoolers. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping List. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added or removed from either list, or both.

The keyword for the FREE REPUBLIC HOMESCHOOLERS’ FORUM is frhf.

I would actually consider this a homeschool issue rather than another reason to homeschool.

Of course they are trying to smear homeschoolers.

It was obvious from the first when that was the first thing they mentioned about him, as if that was the reason he went off.

If room mates have no knowledge of perp making bombs, then was he the bomb maker? If so, there should be chemical residue inside his house or amongst his belongings or place of employment.

Was he merely the delivery boy, and the bomb maker is still unknown?

Based on Live PD, the shirtless guys seem always seem to get pulled in Florida.

Certainly NOT as much as they want to have against ‘shirtless women”!
OH! wait, UK reporting. Well scratch that, they could care less. Not particular, you understand.

“homeschool Christian...”

Here we go. Even a retraction won’t completely erase that characterization in many minds. The lies are strategic.

Note to self: if committing a crime in Florida, be sure to wear a shirt ...

After the gay nightclub massacre; Mrs R2 and I were watching live coverage of the aftermath.

It was a horrible senseless crime. But still as we watched the survivors outside the club, we wondered....

Is it a requirement that the homo’s must take off their shirts as they go clubbing?

Jeez!

Well, in the realm of WWJD, turning over money brokers’ tables and lashing them with a whip made of corded ropes might be a possibility! With our government doing profane things against God with our tax moneys,... pitforks, torches and more are certainly justified.

No doubt.

Zero desire to commit a crime or go to Florida.

99% of the time, I would prefer to stay within a block of where I live.

Absolutely right.

That is a red flag no matter which way you look at it.

The Cultural Marxists often give themselves away without realizing it.

Absolutely right.

It was the same thing Fox News was doing all morning when they continually pointed out he was white.

Not in this case. They can pronounce him guilty if he is a Christian and was home-schooled.

...homeschooled Christian...

A "Christian" is better identified by his fruits than by his profession.

Police say they have no motive but the media knows he hated gays, hated blacks and was a home-schooled Christian. Yeah, no bias there.

Here’s a question. Facebook, I am told, took down his profile. If he’s the right-wing Christian zealot they claim he is, why did they take the profile down?

Had he been a black, Muslim, high-school drop out (or expelled), I doubt those facts would have been mentioned in either the title or inside the article.

This was no Christian. Either that, or he wasn’t the bomber.
